975 Montgomery Street, Brooklyn, NY 11213

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 975 Montgomery Street in Crown Heights, owned by Catherine Shaw, has been in operation since 1923 and is classified as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced several notable issues over the past five years, most concerning being multiple open violations related to the annual bedbug reporting requirements in 2021-2024, which continue to represent non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

The building's heat and hot water systems were the subject of complaints in July 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the reported problems. Additional violations from June 2018 regarding refuse management and garbage receptacle conditions in the first story area remain open as well.

The building has undergone regular rodent inspections, with passing results in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2025, though there was one failure in December 2018 for "Other Reasons." A Department of Buildings complaint from August 2018 regarding an unspecified permit issue was closed due to inspector access problems. The most recent permit issuance occurred on February 28, 2023, under job number 340881549 for electrical work. While the property has maintained rodent control compliance and received a recent electrical permit, the persistent bedbug reporting violations and unanswered heating system complaints from 2018 suggest ongoing maintenance compliance challenges.
